Peaches Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Now Google tracking follows you out of cyberspaceMaking your life easier by knowing what you're doingBy Bill Ray"Not content with knowing what you're doing online, Google has patented a process using the accelerometer in your phone to work out what you're doing offline too, all in the interest of improving your experience.Android devices might start working out what we're doing based on how we're moving, and make decisions as to what we'd like them to do based on that information, as outlined in Google's latest patent spotted by Unwired View.Mobile phones have, for some time, been able to automatically switch modes based on the current time - so calls can automatically be forwarded outside office hours, or novelty ring tones can take over at five o'clock. Some smartphone applications can change modes dependent on a GPS-established location, but Google is more interested in launching applications based on the motion of the phone."details The Register - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/05/21/go...otion_tracking/>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
